Navy Hall, Military heritage building in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada
Navy Hall is a stone-clad building with a copper-covered hipped roof located along the Niagara waterfront. Its symmetrical window placement and rectangular design reflect the architectural style of the late 18th century.
The building was constructed between 1780 and 1819 and served as the seat of Upper Canada's first provincial parliament from 1792 to 1796. Its creation coincided with the establishment of British colonial governance in the region.
The structure represents early Canadian governance and military history as part of Fort George National Historic Site's architectural ensemble.
The site is managed by Parks Canada as part of the Fort George National Historic Site. Visitors can locate it easily along the waterfront promenade where it sits alongside other historic structures.
The original wooden structure was encased in stone during the 1930s to protect it while preserving its historical character. This approach to renovation shows how early buildings were reinforced without altering their appearance.
